It’s been quite a while folks, but I’ve sobered up and OY! Do I have some doozies for you this week!

First up is OFFICE MINI GOLF! http://www.venusarcade.com/Office-Mini-Golf.htm

What’s better than practicing your putt on the company dime? How about playing 18 on the company desks. In the spirit of Desktop Tower Defense this takes your golf game down to a professional level. The music is snappy…but gets old fast (might make a good ringtone however). The graphics are exactly as good as they need to be…any better and they’d be distracting, any worse and they’d be boring. The physics are decent…they could certainly be better…but very playable and a perfect way to feel like you’ve done something when in fact you’ve done nothing at all. Good fun!

Next up is JellyJumper! http://www.jellyjumper.com

Ok, here’s an offering from our friends at Logitech. Simple, take a little green jelly man and have him bounce all over a key board (Logitech, of course) and hit the required keys. This is fun for a few runs to be sure. Best of all, you earn coupons…so hey, if you’re going to buy Logitech anyway, go play a game and save some green (hmm…the guy’s green, I wonder if that’s why). Oh yeah, the mute button is in the lower right corner. You’re welcome.

Finally, meet Clubby the Seal! http://www.kongregate.com/games/Edmund/clubby-the-seal

Isn’t it nice to know that in a world full of senseless, brutal violence there are games that make all that filth seem tame? On the other hand, perhaps you like the idea of a baby seal seeking revenge with a club? You too? Yeah. Not recomended for anyone who loves seals, babies or Eskimos…or is under the age of 35-and-a-half.

Zach over at the Triggit blog isn’t sure what he thinks about Amazon’s new toy the Kindle. I, on the other hand, know exactly what I think…it’s a really expensive way to squint at at page…and heaven forbid you lose it. The Kindle is a great start…no question about it…the world is going that way and that’s that. Viva la technologie! BUT! At $399.00 a pop and another $9.99 for books (not paper books mind you, just the kind Kindle reads), you have to buy and read more than TWENTY K-books (assuming you by at aprox. $20 each at a Boraders bestsellers table) before you start saving any money over the paper equivilant. And unlike the paper, you can’t easilly lend it to your friends, pass it around the office or…as I often do…spill coffee on it and leave it in an airport men’s room…or if I did, I’d probably have a stroke. So, for now, I applaud Amazon for getting this to market, I look forward to playing with one, I hope i get proven wrong and the technology takes off like a bat out of hell, but unil this (or it’s decendant) gets below $100 the mass market acceptance won’t be there.
